A decision isn’t finished when you make it. It’s finished when you follow through.

Deciding produces the feeling of completion without any of the result. It is genuinely satisfying, which is the problem, because the relief of having chosen can substitute for doing the thing, and then nothing exists except an intention you remember fondly. The gap between those two states is where most plans quietly live.

Attach a first physical action to anything you decide and do it within a day. Send the message, book the slot, put the bag by the door. The decision becomes real at the point where something in the world is different.
